Word 2003 sudenly shows "cut marks" (?) in corners

[Hugo Kornelis]

Hi all,

My daughter just called me, asking for help with a computer problem. On
hew laptop, Word 2003 suddenly displays "cut marks" (if they're called
that in English - I refer to small markers just outside the printable
margin, such as used in press printing to indicate where the paper has
to be cut) on her screen.

It appears to be a display issue, as these same markers also appear when
she reopens older documents, that didn't have these markers before.

I've never experienced anything like this, and after carefully checking
all relevant menus, I was unable to find the option to turn this back
off. And my daighter, of course, doesn't remember changing any setting
at all

Any guidance towards removing these marks from my daughter's screen
would be most welcome. (In case it matters, she's running a Dutch
version of Word 2003, on a Dutch version of Windows XP).

Thanks, Jay. It worked (the first, easier solution - so I can also heave
a sigh of relief for not having to hack the registry <g>)
